THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY'S EFFORTS TOWARD COMPUTERIZATION OF BUILDING SPECIFICATIONS AND THE TECHNICAL DATA HAVE MADE A HUGE VOLUME OF INFORMATION MORE MANAGEABLE AND EASIER TO USE. THE DESIGN PROFESSION WOULD BENEFIT FROM A SIMILAR ATTEMPT TO DEVELOP SOME CONSISTENCY AMONG THESE SPECIFICATIONS AND THEIR LEGAL COUNTERPARTS, THE MODEL BUILDING CODES. DEVELOPMENT OF A PRELIMINARY KEY WORD INDEX/THE ...

LIKE ENERGY, MANY BUILDING MATERIALS ARE NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES. FURTHER, THEY ARE BEING CONTINUALLY DEPLETED TO SUPPORT A GROWING WORLD POPULATION. WHEN BUILDINGS ARE DEMOLISHED TO ALLOW NEW CONSTRUCTION, MOST WRECKAGE WASTE BECOMES A DISPOSAL PROBLEM FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT. THIS DEMOLITION WASTE IS A POTENTIAL BUILDING MATERIALS RESOURCE IF PROPER REPROCESSING METHODS CAN BE INVENTED. THIS PROJECT ...

THE PROPOSED RESEARCH HAS THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF CREATING INNOVATIVE NEW NUMERICAL ENGINEERING TOOLS FOR SOLVING THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRATIFIED FLOWS CONTAINING HYDRAULIC JUMPS. THE PROPOSED NUMERICAL TECHNIQUE IS BASED ON A MULTILAYER MODEL CONSISTING OF N HORIZONTAL, HOMOGENEOUS LAYERS WHICH IS USED TO APPROXIMATE STEADY, STRATIFIED, INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOWS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION OF HYDROSTATIC BALAN ...

ALTHOUGH THE ART OF ESTIMATING HUMAN POPULATIONS IS MATURE, INSTITUTIONAL ESTIMATION RELIES ON RESEARCHERS' INTUITIONS OR ILL-FITTING ADAPTATIONS OF CONSUMER RESEARCH. THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A DATA GATHERING AND ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY FOR MEASURING FEATURES OF A POPULATION OF INSTITUTIONS (E.G., DEMAND FOR A NEW MANUFACTURING PROCESS). WE PROPOSE FOUR SPECIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS, WHOSE FORMULATIONS, ...

INCREASED DEMAND FOR LIVE AND PROCESSED CLAMS HAS BEEN ACCOMPAINED BY A DECREASED SUPPLY OF WILD CLAMS. THE SURF CLAM (SPISULA SOLIDISSMA) WAS UTILIZED EXTENSIVELY FOR PROCESSED CLAM PRODUCTS UNTIL OVERFISHING REDUCED THE SURF CLAM POPULATIONS AND HARVESTS. RESEARCH HAS INDICATED THAT SURF CLAMS CAN BE PRODUCED IN LAND-BASED CULTURE SYSTEMS IN ONE GROWING SEASON, FOR USE IN MARKETS CURRENTLY SUPPL ...
